We partnered with Our Lady of the Snows Elementary school to offer an after school project on October 29th featuring a puppet - style Sugar Skull.

In honor of Dia de Los Muertos or Day of the Dead, a traditional day of remembrance for dearly departed loved ones, those in attendance fashioned a 3 dimensional paper calavera.

The craft project was conducted by MDFPA with the assistance of the Our Lady of the Snows art teacher Elizabeth Real.

All of life is juggling…. so learn how to do it correctly!

This is going to be FUN!
